Each week, Slaw, Troy, and Denny Stephenson will come up with some topics and then list the riders most likely to accomplish those feats. Hence the title “Most Likely”. Most would call us brilliant.
Is Levi Kitchen most likely to take back the points lead this weekend? OR will RJ throw a heater right down the middle and maintain?
Ginger Dog: Levi is taking it back.
T-Dog: I say that RJ throws a strike right down the middle and extends his points lead. He’s got all that confidence after his Showdown win and he’s been waiting for this moment his entire career. In baseball terms, I’m calling the bullpen for RJ as my closer.
DBO: RJ takes Kitchen to cooking class.
Slaw: Kitchen cooks.
If you could go back to the 1990s moto for one more day, what would you most likely do? (PG version here Denny)
Ginger Dog: I’ve heard so much from T about how awesome Kenworthy’s Motocross Park was. I’m an Ohio native but never got the opportunity to experience this track in its prime. Now it’s gone. I’m going with the ‘95 race where McGrath, LaRocco, and Emig took the top three.
T-Dog: This is wild because both Ginger Dog and Slaw Dog took my answer and my backup answer. I don’t care, I’m going back to Kenworthy’s back in 1996 because 1997 was way too damn hot. I spent my childhood at Kenworthy’s walking a million miles along the fence lines with my dad. I just remember smelling a mix of premix and the grilled corn hut, just trying to get a glimpse at all of my heroes. Some of my best memories happened at that track and it holds a special place in my heart. Heck, I even still have dreams about that track!
DBO: I’d go back to 1990 OKC Supercross & avoid crashing by being a little more patient.
Slaw: I would go to havasu with Jeff Emig, Denny Stephenson, and crew and have the best time of my life.
Which rider is most likely the nicest in the history of the sport?
Ginger Dog: Trey Canard. He’s hands down the nicest guy I’ve ever met.
T-Dog: Freddie Noren is the nicest person that I’ve ever met in my life. He’s one of the only riders who has ever asked me how I’m doing and genuinely seemed interested in my life. He will literally ask me if I want the shirt off of his back even though I’m already wearing a shirt. Then he will proceed to give me the keys to his car, his wedding ring, and house. Great guy, that Freddie.
DBO: I don’t think I have ever seen John Down not smiling. All those old New England guys are good people.
Slaw: Freddie Noren, he’s the nicest guy ever.
Is Seth Hammaker most likely on his way to progressing into a champion in the future?
Ginger Dog: He’s currently 10th in points and has had a top 3 finish more than once during this SX season. So yeah, he’s making moves.
T-Dog: I think so. He’s on my list of riders who could progress to that next level and it wouldn’t surprise me. The biggest thing for Hammaker is that he needs to stay healthy. If he can stay healthy he can be a champion.
DBO: Uhhh. Once you develop a history & reputation of crashing & being injured. That’s a near impossible hole to dig out of. I think Seth has some great rides ahead. Altho, not sure of any titles in his future.
Slaw: Yes, 100% unless he gets the Mitch Curse.
How long is Kyle Chisholm most likely to race for?
Ginger Dog: They are going to have to bury Chiz with that bike. He’s going to race forever.
T-Dog: Chiz told me this week that he has an option in his contract for 2025 and that he really wants to race…so at this point WE are racing until we are 96.
DBO: I was watching the 1980 Philadelphia SX on YouTube & I swear I saw Chiz in the background.
Slaw: 2032 because he Chizzes.
Do you most likely not put hot food in the fridge due to bacterial/sickness reasons, or because it heats up the fridge? This one may not make any sense, but blame Zach Osborne and Joey Savatgy for this.
Ginger Dog: I don’t get sick. Teaching youths for almost a decade has given me the immune system of Iron Man. I leave that junk out so it doesn’t heat up the fridge and get all steamy and disgusting.
T-Dog: Look, my parents owned and operated a restaurant for 30 years and they worked there for 46 total. They’ve since retired as of last January, but one thing they passed onto me was an abundance of knowledge in food safety. I don’t mess around with it. The correct way to put hot food away is to leave it cool on the stove for a bit, then put it into your properly cleaned storage container, make sure its room temperature before you put the lid on it, then once it’s cool you may put the lid on. That’s when you put it in the fridge.
DBO: I avoid putting hot leftovers in the fridge until its room temperature. That’s correct right?
Slaw: I don’t know what Zach-O and Savatgy are smoking, but I want some of it.
Does Troy Dog most likely have what it takes to be a social media influencer for the Dirt Bike Depot brand?
Ginger Dog: Troy Dog can do anything.
T-Dog: Stay tuned to this, I do most likely have what it takes, as my wife has said above, and I will prove Slaw and DBO wrong. I’m going to work on my goal of becoming a an ELITE social media influencer. I have a great coach lined up and a great brand that hasn’t committed to this idea at all yet.
DBO: Who? What? Send me the kid’s resume & we can talk.
Slaw No, 1000% no…and no 1000% no.
